Aurora

Was checking out the Suicycle Store some hours ago. Meet some nice peeps from Amsterdam and the States, all really curious for the race in the evening. Meier from the Suicycle guys was there and showed some of their goods. The Suicycle frames are really hot…

Check out some impressions of Hamburg with to much ice and snow and of course some shop pictures.
Just to mention, yesterday around 8p.m. there was no snow or ice… the race is going to be really interesting.

A big thank you for all the support and kind words.

Nico from Fixed Gear Braunschweig:
“I rode the straps for weeks, and I can honestly say that these are a solid solution for foot retention on a fixed gear for tricks. They are great. Good fit, comfy, and your bike control increase drastically from straps and clips. Hand-made in Germany and you’ll NEVER need to buy toe clips again! Definitely worth the money.”

Ole from Fixed Gear Norway:
“These straps are amazing in traffic! Feels like a real, comfy upgrade from my MKS cages. They are practically designed to bomb hills and spin around in Oslo’s challenging streets. Get a pair of your own…”

We received a lot orders in the first two weeks and send out most of the them so far, but still hard working on getting the rest done.
We are really sorry if it takes a while for some customers.
The straps are all handmade and we only do them in our spare time, since we got jobs and school to do.
Another thing for a possible delay is the german post, we ship the straps as a letter to keep the shipping costs low, but as a post office clerk told me, shipping over seas can take up to 5-6 weeks. So keep this in mind while waiting.

We are looking for a faster method to ship, but there are not really many possibilities for a decent price.

I put the straps offline in the onlineshop, so that we can get all orders done. They will be online again in about a week.

The straps are back online now. We decided to choose another shipping method. It’s just slightly faster for over sea shipping, but its registered and secure. So it might take some time, but will def. arrive. This adds around 2,15€ to every package i send out, so i added 2€ to the normal strap price.

I think most of you agree that this is the best way to do it.

Ride safe!

Since velcro straps are pretty comfy to ride with, but pretty expensive and mostly made for platform pedals, my girlfriend and i decided to make our own. High quality, but for a better price and of course fitting for road and track pedals. We are working and developing the first versions and currently testing the prototypes shown on the pictures. The first impression is pretty good, they feel pretty good on the road and seem to be very durable. 

We only used high quality fabric for industrial use, all fabrics we use are made in germany.
The designs and colorways are just ideas, we will work on this aswell.
As you can see on the pictures we got two different versions for now, not sure if the one with buckle will be produced but it is nice to easy tighten the strap with that technique. 

Tell us what you think about them… and stay tuned.
